Guide to the Scriptures

Scriptures

Words, both written and spoken, by holy men of God when moved upon by the Holy Ghost. The official canonized scriptures of the Church today consist of the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Jesus and the writers of the New Testament regarded the books of the Old Testament as scripture (Matt. 22:29; John 5:39; 2 Tim. 3:15; 2 Pet. 1:20–21). See also Chronology in the appendix.
